Resumé

Ayurveda is the science that imparts all the knowledge of life. It defines health and factors responsible for its maintenance and promotion. Health is essential for enjoyment of all the worldly pleasures in a righteous manner. Promotion of positive mental health is essential for acquiring a state of eternal and supreme happiness, i.e., moksha. As every science has got some basic fundamentals on which it is based, likewise Ayurveda has also got a few basic principles or fundamentals on which this science rests. Some of them are principle of panchmahabhuta, principle of tridosha, principle of saptadhatu which constitute much of importance. Ayurveda is the ancient most medical science described in Sanskrit language, in a specific manner, in a brief form based on philosophical fundamentals. It is often accused as old, outdated, unscientific or impracticable by scholars or scientists of other disciplines who do not know or understand the facts about Ayurveda. Now, when people, using powerful synthetic drugs all over the world, are looking towards Ayurveda as an alternative medicine, it is the duty of Ayurvedic people to propagate Ayurveda throughout the world in a right manner. And for this propagation of Ayurvedic fundamentals and principles is more important than the propagation of Ayurvedic medicines or prescriptions. Keywords : basic fundamentals, principle of panchmahabhuta, principle of tridosha
